Prepositions of direction

Prepositions of direction show us where or where an object is moving from.

Where are we going with Piglet?

To or towards

To – this preposition is certainly the most important preposition of direction in the English language. It is used with almost any place, institution, event, and replaces several prepositions of the Russian language at once: to, in, on. So, in 99% of cases, use to and you won’t go wrong:

• to the party - to the party
• to the north - to the north
• to school - to school
• to Moscow - to Moscow
• to my sister - to my sister
• to England - to England
• to the cinema - to the cinema

But exceptions , and you need to know them like the back of your hand, since these words are often used, and these are: the adverbs here (here) there (there) and the word home (house). With these words we do not use the preposition to; they do not require a preposition at all:

• Come here - come here
• Go there - go there
• Go home - go home, come home - come home

Remember these expressions and pay attention to the verbs come and go. Go always means moving away, and come always means approaching:

to go to - go somewhere, head to come to - come somewhere

Therefore, in English you cannot say go here or come there! Just go there and come here . Well, you can either come home or leave home - both verbs can be used. Okay, back to prepositions of place.

Towards - this preposition also indicates the direction of movement towards an object, but if in the case of to we are going to a specific place, then the preposition towards only indicates that we are going in the direction of some place without the goal of getting inside. It is translated like this: towards, towards. For example:

I go to the park.- I go to the park (I go to a specific place, point, point - to the park).

I go towards the park. – I’m walking towards the park (I’m just walking in this direction, maybe I’ll go into the park, maybe not).

Let's get through this!

Across, through or over

Across (through, across) - we use this preposition when we are talking about the intersection of flat surfaces:

We saw them walking across the street. — We saw them crossing the street.

We'll have to swim across. - We will have to swim to the other side.

Through - through, through. We use this preposition when we talk about movement in three-dimensional space, movement through something:

The road goes through the forest. — The road goes through the forest.

The burglar came through the window.- The burglar entered the house through the window.

The River Thames flows through London. — The Thames flows through London.  

Over – can also be translated as “through”, but when we are talking about high barriers, obstacles:

A dog is jumping over the hurdle. — The dog jumps over an obstacle.

He climbed over the wall. - He climbed over the wall.

Via is not the most common preposition, but it is also translated as “through”, only in the meaning “along the route through” or “with a call at”:

We flew to Athens via Paris. — We flew to Athens via Paris.

Please, take your legs off…from.. out of….? In short, take your feet off the table!

Out of - from. This preposition describes movement from inside something, for example, from a closed room, from a box, from a jar:

Get out of the car with your hands up! — Get out of the car with your hands up!

Let a bird out of the cage. - Let the bird out of the cage.

By the way, this would also include, for example, the expression look out the window - look out the window, look out of the window.

Off – from (with). This preposition describes movement from the surface. This is exactly what we need to ask to remove our feet from the table:

Take your feet off the table! - Take your feet off the table!

He jumped off the roof. — He jumped off the roof.

A vase fell off the shelf. — A vase fell from the shelf.

The preposition off is also used to denote an object from which a part is separated: Cut the fat off the meat. - Trim the fat from the meat. Carl bit a small piece off the cake. — Karl took a small bite of the cake.

From

From – with, from, from. As you can see, the preposition from is more universal and has three translations into Russian. It usually refers to the starting point of a movement, that is, movement from a specific point. This can be not only a place, but also a recipient and a surface:

I brought this bag from Tim. – I brought this bag from Tim.

She pulled her chair away from her desk. “She pushed her chair away from the desk.

Give me a pen from the shelf. Give me a pen from the shelf.

We use the same preposition when we say that we received a parcel, letter or phone call from someone: I had a phone call from John. — John called me.

In addition, the preposition from in combination with other prepositions can have the following meanings:

• away from - from, away from, movement in the opposite direction from the object: He ran away from home - He ran away from home.
• from behind – movement from behind, from behind an object: The sun emerged from behind the clouds. — The sun came out from behind the clouds.
• from under – movement from under the object: I peeped my head out from under the blanket. “I stuck my head out from under the blanket.

Into/onto

Inside/Up

Into - inside. This preposition shows the direction into something, which is quite logical, since it consists of two prepositions that we already know: in “inside” + to direction: We dived into the sea. — We dived into the sea.

The preposition into is also used to mean dividing something into separate parts, for example: Cut the cake into pieces.- Cut the cake into pieces.

Onto - on, up. This preposition shows the direction of movement towards something (on “to” + to direction):

The book fell onto the floor. — The book fell to the floor.

We climbed onto the building's roof. — We climbed to the roof of the building.

Along, past, round

Along, past or around?

Along - along. Used when we talk about moving along a line:

The ship sailed along the coast. — The ship sailed along the coast.

Past - past. Everything is clear here too:

He walked past me (preposition). - He walked past me.

Around/round - around, around. Used when we talk about moving in a circle.

Not turned round the corner. — He turned the corner.

Is there a bank around here? Is there a bank nearby (literally - around, within a radius)?

Back to - back to, back - movement back to the place you left:

Go back to the library - Go back to the library.

Swing up and down

Up/down

Up – up/to the top: He climbed up the ladder.- He climbed up the stairs.

The second meaning is the direction to a more central point of something (to the city center, inland, etc.): They decided to drive up to town to do some shopping. — They decided to go to the city (city center) to do some shopping.

Down – down, down, with: Climb down out of that tree! - Get off that tree!

The second meaning is movement from the center to a more distant point: A little girl ran down the garden - The girl ran out into the garden.

Also, these prepositions can replace the preposition along with the meaning “along by”:

Go up the street and turn left. — Walk along this street and turn left.

Go down the road and turn left. — Drive along this road and turn left.

He went down the corridor - He walked down the corridor.

We swing our legs with emphasis on the wall

A fairly simple exercise that greatly increases the elasticity of the buttocks and eliminates unpleasant folds. We stand facing the wall, resting our hands. It is important to keep your back straight. We swing with our left and right legs, moving our legs back to the maximum height possible for you. However, don't overdo it! Injuries are possible here: you can pull a muscle.

To avoid unpleasant sensations, but get maximum effect, start not with rhythmic swings of your legs, but with fairly neat, slow movements. Once your body has mastered this type of movement, you can move on to more vigorous swings.

The number of lifts is 20 times for the left and right legs. Don't forget to keep your body still! Only the leg moves.

Berg's technique for increasing height - all complexes. Norbekov's technique for increasing height

Mirzakarim Norbekov was born into a large family. The goal of his life was to study the capabilities of the body.

In addition to the method of increasing height, Mirzakarim had many different hobbies: he loved to travel, tried his hand at creativity: drawing, photography.

Sport was the basis of his activity; Norbekov is the owner of a black belt in karate.

Norbekov’s technique allows you to increase a person’s height by increasing the elasticity of the vertebral discs. The set of exercises includes strength training and stretching.

All of them are divided into segments, between which special breathing exercises follow:

• On the count: one-two, inhale.
• Hands rise up and stretch.
• He exhales for three or four people.
• The arms are lowered along with the exhalation.

The technique allows you to see the first results after just a week of training. 10 cm is an impressive figure. And the result is quite real, you just need to do the exercises regularly and diligently.

Belief in success is of great importance; in order not to doubt, you should read all of Norbekov’s materials related to this technique.

Understanding the essence of the effect of exercises on the muscular system, it is easier to achieve results.

The technique has contraindications:

• Severe mental illness.
• Oncological diseases.
• Pregnancy.
• Previous heart attack, stroke.
• Pathologies of the heart and blood vessels.
• Hypertension during exacerbation.

Exercises affect the chest and back areas. Shoulders and lower back are involved. In addition to the main set of exercises, a load on the entire body is required.

Norbekov recommends doing additional exercises, visiting the gym, and going for a run at least 4 times a week. The distance for one day is at least three kilometers.

How to tighten your buttocks at home and become more attractive?

For this purpose, professional trainers have developed a special set of exercises. The main goal is to restore muscle tone and burn fat. The exercises are not as difficult to perform as it might seem at first glance.

Tightening your butt at home quickly is a doable task. The main thing is to start with a small number of repetitions and gradually increase them. The number may be different for each person. During training, a person should feel the load well, but at the same time he should be comfortable.

After a person has worked his butt and legs, he should feel light and pleasant fatigue. If the muscles of the buttocks hurt after waking up, it means that the technique was not violated during the exercises. From time to time, girls complain that their joints hurt. It is simple to explain this phenomenon - they did the exercises incorrectly, and all the stress went to the joints.

To tighten your buttocks at home, you need to do the following exercises.

Squats

You can tighten your thighs with squats. This is one of the best exercises that allows you to restore elasticity to sagging muscles. Has a medium degree of difficulty. During training, the muscles of the back, abdomen, large pelvic, popliteal and, of course, the hips themselves work.

There are several varieties:

• plie;
• sumo;
• at an angle of 90 degrees;
• deep;
• with weighting.

All of them are equally popular and are used to give a good workout to the thighs, buttocks and legs.

This exercise works the gluteal muscle well. It is considered one of the best for getting a toned butt. Squats can be classic or with additional weight. These could be weights, a bar, or a bottle filled with water. The technique is as follows:

1. Stand straight with your chin raised.
2. Place your feet shoulder-width apart, gradually spreading them even wider.
3. Place your arms along your body. To increase the load, pull forward or add weights.
4. Sit down slowly, while inhaling air.
5. As you exhale, return to the starting position, lifting weights or any other weight.
